A bike pulled up to an explosion. Power Rider ZI-O was sitting on her bike and leaned forward as another went off behind her. She pulled up on her bike and drove it forward as another Rider on a walking vehicle came behind her, with a small army of Riders who all looked alike came in on foot and on bike.
More explosions erupted into the army. The walker fired missiles.
Two dragon monsters flew through the air and unleashed fireballs, but both fell.
More Riders came in on bikes, avoiding explosions.
A number of Riders with wings or jetpacks flew with the mass produced Riders and some crimson bird-like objects. A dragon/castle flew in with Riders atop it.
Some Riders fell, and then the castle went down as well.
A purple Rider wielding drumsticks was carried forward on a large creature, clearing the path for more Riders to come in on foot or on bike, led by Zi-O. They avoided more explosions, but some were cast aside.
More explosions struck around the bikes. Trains flew through the air while Riders rode them, using whatever attacks they had.
"Final Vent" rang out as missiles flew, but he was struck with a train.
A line of Riders ran forward but were blasted back by an explosion.
More Riders ran forward, but explosions stopped their progress. One Rider was thrown from his bike while Zi-o remained in control.
The large monkey-like creature that the purple Rider rode was struck and fell from the cliff it was on, into a body of water.
As Riders lay unconscious, explosions erupted around some of them.
A shadowy figure with a violet aura stood there, and then his belt stood out.
Alex shot up and let out a sound of relief as she gripped her head with one hand. "I...turn into...that?…," she said to herself. She groaned and leaned back; resting her head against the headrest of the time machine seat, "Thats more like a nightmare…"
She closed her eyes but the footage kept playing.
As the violet form of Power Rider Zi-o walked forward, with the beaten down Riders lying on the ground, Build started to stir. She rose up slowly, "You…," she told Zi-o who stopped and turned. Kuuga threw his arms down and let out a shout. Darkness started to come around his body.
Alex opened her eyes and continued to watch, "No…no. What was that even about?" She muttered, "I'm nothing like that."
She closed her eyes in a blink. She closed them again, but the footage continued to play
The unconscious forms of other Riders floated in the air around Kuuga. He let out a shout as he thrust one arm out and put the other to his belt. The darkness came around him, shifting him into a black armored form.
The unconscious bodies fell to the ground and he rushed forward.
Alex shook as she watched the footage, "No…why?" She muttered, shaking her head, "Why?"
She looked away. There was the sound of thunder coming. For now it was just grumbling in the distance. She picked herself up, her legs feeling weak. She reached out and put her hand against a console for support.
She looked out a window, seeing a flash of lightning with the growl of thunder. In that flash she saw the rest of the footage.
Zi-o walked towards the black armored Kuuga, who came to a stop and started to throw attacks forward. Zi-o blocked each move as she moved backwards and evaded.
Zi-o took one shot and stumbled Kuuga slightly, but it wasn't much. Zi-o evaded another kick and landed a punch, stunning Kuuga again. The two continued to dodge and exchange blows until Kuuga finally got ahold of one of Zi-o's arms.
The two leapt away from each other when Zi-o pushed his arm.
Kuuga stopped and lifted his arm, which began to glow with red energy.
Zi-o turned and lifted his arm as well, which glowed with pink energy.
With their glowing fists, the two Riders ran at each other and punched, their fists colliding. An explosion rippled outwards from the impact.
"No," Alex said, picking up her bag, "No," she said again as she ran out of the time machine, not far away. A few others were hurrying in as well, looking out at the sky. Alex headed inside with the rest of them.
Alex stood at a window, watching the rain pour down outside. "Another beautiful day in Lincon City isn't it?" a girl asked from behind.
Alex turned, "I'm not that person you claim i am, Zenon," she said.
"Oh really?" she asked, "Well, im not believing you."
"It…,"
She interrupted her, "Wait!" she said, "Let me try to figure it out!"
Alex sighed, "You're still going on about thinking you have some sort of special powers?" She asked.
She shot her a look, "I'm from the future! You know that!"
"And?" Alex asked.
"Well, you do seem different to her," she said.
"Yes," Alex agreed,
"Just be quiet and listen to me" she said, slowly growing irritated.
Alex sighed and relented with a nod, "Ok, ok, sorry. Go ahead."
She got a serious look on her face, then it went away in a moment, "You didn't try to take over the world yet have you?" Zenon asked.
Alex shook her head quickly, "No! Of course not! And you should..."
"I should know that?" she asked, "And yet you doubt me!"
"Even if you are from the future," she said, "You figured what? You'd come back and tell me not to become Zi-o?
"Thats right," she told him, "Though i thought it would easier." She made sure to add emphasis to the last part of her sentence.
Alex sighed and looked out the window at the rain, "I didn't bring an umbrella," she said.
"Me neither," Zenon said.
Alex looked over her shoulder at her, "And yet you claim to be from the future or something."
She shrugged, "So, what was it then?"
"Oh…just that footage you showed me," Alex said, not really caring about telling her, "Im not like that."
"The footage got you like this?" she asked, "Since when has anything effected the mighty Zi-o?"
"Seriously," she said, "How many times do i have to tell you?."
"Maybe you should listen to me then," Zenon told him.
Alex sighed and moved to the next window. Zenon followed her and leaned against the wall at her side, "So?"
"What?" Alex asked, turning to look at her.
"You going to listen to me?" she asked.
Alex sighed, "Fine whatever."
"You're lying."
"I'm not."
"Are too."
"You sound childish."
"So do you."
Alex sighed, but Zenon smiled and grabbed her arm, "Come on."
Alex looked away from her and back out the window, "It stopped," she said, leaving the window and heading towards the door a little ways down the hall. Zenon grabbed her bag and followed after her.
Alex pushed the door open and walked out. She started down the sidewalk, but Zenon stopped. She looked down, and then at the grass. She crouched and touched the grass then lifted her hand up, "Dry…," she said. She looked to Alex as he kept walking, "Alex!"
She turned back, "Yeah? What is it?"
"The grass is dry," she said, coming to her feet, "And look at the sidewalk. It's dry too!"
"What?" She muttered. Alex looked down, then crouched and touched the grass, "It is dry…but…but how?"
There was a loud sound in the distance. It sounded like an explosion or something, and then the ground also began to shake.
"Alex!" Zenon shouted at her over the constant noise, "This is bad!"
"I know! It's an earthquake!" She said.
"No, no it's not! It's worse!" she told her loudly.
A castle broke out of the ground in an indoor stadium. It rose, smashing through the ceiling as it continued to grow to massive size, overshadowing the city.
A twin headed bird emblem was emblazoned on the side, with the letters "DCD" written into it.
The ground stopped shaking. Alex looked at Zenon while other students were looking around, questioning what just happened to each other.
"Rain, but no wetness. And then an earthquake," Alex said, "So what is this?"
"I…I don't know," Zenon said.
Alex turned and started to run down the path, Zenon calling after her. She grabbed her bag and ran after Alex, until she stopped on the street and looked out to the city.
"What is that?" She muttered.
"It's…it's a castle shouldnt you know?" she asked.
Alex turned to her, "How did that even happen? A giant stone castle doesn't just appear out of nowhere!" She turned away from her, remaining silent. When shee spoke again her anger was gone, "If your from The future and you have no idea? Then...what does it even mean?"
"I don't know," Zenon told her, "I wish I could say something, but I don't know…"
More people were starting to gather and look, talking amongst each other about what they were looking at.
Soon they could see a man walking towards the college. He wore a suit and was in his forties or so, well groomed and carrying himself well. He kept his hands clasped behind his back.
"Who are you?" Alex questioned, stepping forward.
"Defiant one," the man said simply. A small smile came to his face, but it wasn't anything that made any of the students feel at ease. "Do you know what happens to those who are defiant? The Dark Conquest Dynasty sees to their removal."
"What?" Alex questioned, taking a step back.
In a flash two monsters appeared, flanking the suited man. Students began to run and panic, but the monsters didn't move.
"Still defiant?" the man questioned Alex, who stood there, albeit shaking. Zenon stood as well, remaining by Alex's side. "Very well then."
In a flash the man stood in a suit of armor, parts of his helmet aflame. He drew his shield before his body while his two monsters remained back.
The man lifted his right arm and drew it to his chest, "You can bow to me and spare yourself some pain," he drew his arm out and pointed, "for I am Zeus." He jabbed his finger forward a little as he finished, "Your ruler."
"Our ruler?" Alex questioned, shaking her head and laughing a little, "Never! We have no ruler...well not yet!"
"You will from this point on. The Dynasty has claimed this town as our own. This city will be a launching ground for our navy, and then our dominance shall spread!"
"I won't let that happen!" Alex shouted, throwing her arm out, "This is the city I love! The city I was born in! I grew up here! I won't let it be taken by some freak in armor!"
Zeus laughed, "If you don't believe me…a freak in armor, as you put it, then what about monsters?"
"What, those two?" Alex questioned.
"Defiant? Still? Maybe I have a place for you in my Dynasty," Zeus said. Alex looked angered, so Zeus laughed, "But no, not them." He pointed, "In your precious city itself."
"What?" Alex questioned, looking to the city.
A monster walked forward, causing a group of people to run.
Monsters began grabbing at people.
Zeus looked up, "And here comes the rain again." He looked at Alex and Zenon, "Did you know that rain was attracted to dark energy?" He laughed.
Some of the people who fled ran into other monsters, barring their way. The monsters grabbed at the people and assaulted them.
And it continued.
Alex and Zenon stood there, wet as the last few drops fell from the sky. They rapidly dried.
"And of course, this happens too," Zeus said.
"Just what is it that you're trying to do here?" Alex shouted.
"I'm trying to prove a point," Zeus stated, "This city is ours now. We have an army of monsters at my command. One girl stands here, thinking she's defiant, thinking she can do something to stop us? I laugh at you. You have courage and guts, but it's far from enough to do anything!"
"We'll see…," Alex hissed, running towards town.
"Alex dont!" Zenon shouted. She looked at Zeus and the two monsters, and then ran after her after realizing they weren't going to give chase.
"Dont what you heard him…," Alex hissed as she ran, "I need its power…"
"I won't let you take this city!" Alex shouted as she ran.
Zenon was behind her, watching as it seemed that Alex's body became hazy. Then the haziness shattered like glass, but she didn't seem to notice anything was different.
The glass-like haziness came together in front of Alex, then condensed and shot forward. Alex thrust her arms up as if to protect herself from what was about to hit her, but it just passed through. She slowed to a stop, letting Zenon catch up to her.
Alex lowered her arms, her right hand was clutching a belt buckle, and her left held a watch-like object.
"Dont use them" Zenon said " Look i know whats going on "
"I...," Alex said. They looked to the side as they heard a scream. A woman was running away.
A shelled monster stood, glowing red, and then shattered into an insect monster.
Alex walked forward and looked at the buckle. She shouted and slammed it to her waist, causing a belt to emerge and cinch around her waist. Alex pushed the button on the watch and opened. Alex looked at it. It had the helmet of a silver coloured warrior, with watch like helmet.
"Let's try it," she said.
Zenon was looking at the fleeing woman and backing away as she looked at Alex, "Nooo!" she shouted.
"Yes ," Alex said. She plugged the watch in the left slot of the belt. She put her hands on each side and pushed them together, spinning the belt.
"Power Ride," Zenon said softly. " Why didnt you listen to me?"
The belt flashed red in the center and then a silver shine came around Alex's body, molding into armor around her. Projections came up at certain points, like lettering before attaching to the visor, finishing her armor.
Detail shots of armor and belt.
"Ive failed" Zenon said softly, looking down, "Be careful, Alex. Fight, and show that Dynasty just who you are." She looked up, "Show them your conviction!"
"Right!" She shouted as she ran forward.
The insect monster had been joined by two others, and they were all moving at high speeds. One was still in larval form and got kicked back.
"Let's try this one," Alex said as she lifted a watch up. She loaded it into her belt and spin the belt, which rang out with a voice.
"Armour time Kabuto!"
Her armor shifted into an insect-like form, the blue eyes flashing. Her belt remained the same.
The first insect monster smashed a pillar, causing Alex to turn, "Alright," she said, hitting the watch
"Clock up!" rang from her belt.
Everything slowed down as she moved forward, smashing the rubble away at high speeds with her sword. She slashed through the insect monsters, shouting with each blow.
After moving through them, the rubble fell at normal speed as the speed boost faded. The monsters each exploded in green fire.
Alex let out a sigh as she moved her hand over the edge of her sword, "Done."
Her belt beeped, ejecting the watch. She caught it in her hand and shifted forms back to normal.
"Just…just what was that?" Alex muttered, "How did I…?" She turned and then the image on the watch began to fade away.
Alex started to run forward, only to see a bike in the same color as her armor. She looked at it for a moment and nodded, "I guess I'll take it then." She climbed on and started the engine.
Zenon stood, waiting. "Where are you Alex?" she muttered, "I hope you're ok…" She turned at the sound of an engine.
Alex sat on her bike and gestured with her head, "Get on, Zenon."
"Where did that come from?" she questioned.
"I don't know, just get on and let's go," Alex said.
"Go where?" she asked.
"To save the city," she said.
The bike stopped near a rundown building. There were people screaming.
"I'm going to help," Alex said, getting off and leaving Zenon at the bike.
Alex slid to a stop and looked in her palm. Alex looked at the watch that had appeared, "Why are you so appealing to me?" She muttered.
Zenon got off the bike and ran a little ways away.
Alex looked up and then slotted it.
"Armour time Faiz!"
Lines formed around her armor, and then she shone, appearing as a gray and red colored Rider. She turned, "Try this!" Alex shouted. She turned to her bike as her belt rang out.
"Battle Mode!"
Alex pushed the watch and the bike shifted into a robot form, which flew at the two monsters nearby, who had a civilian between them.
"Good job!" Alex shouted as she ran.
She reached up and grabbed the handlebar of the robot bike, "I'll borrow this," she said, pulling a sword out as a number of monsters converged nearby.
Zenon ran over to the civilian, "Come with me," she said, pulling her away.
Alex ran forward, slashing and kicking at monsters. They kept coming and being repelled, soon the attacks dropped all of them, and in bursts of blue flame, they were destroyed.
A shadow flew overheard, and there was a screech. "What?" Alex questioned, turning to look. She saw a number of flying monsters and some monsters atop a ruined building. A giant crab and giant spider appeared from the ground as well, making the odds worse.
"Again?" Alex questioned as the watch was ejected from her belt. Alex watched as the watch vanished, just like Kabuto. "I guess I'll try this," she said, loading another watch in.
"Armour time Hibiki!"
Her body burned with violet fire and she appeared as a dark blue/purple armored warrior. She reached back and drew out two drumstick weapons, which let ablaze, "This is interesting!" Alex said as she launched the fames at the monsters, blasting them down, destroying them all in a few blasts.
"Again?" She questioned as it was ejected and she returned to her base form.
Zenon watched the civilian she'd helped run off while Alex ran towards her in her armor, "We should keep going!"
"I can't believe i have this much power," she told Zenon, "I mean, i destroyed so many of those things so fast!"
"I know," Zenon said, clenching her fist, " This is why i told you not to use this power " she said, "This power…this is enough power to stop Zeus! I can save the city!" Alex looked out, "But first, I need to actually save it from the monsters. I'll get to Zeus soon."
She nodded, "Let's go then."
A flying serpent-like monster flew between buildings.
It continued flying towards a large building crawling with other animal-like monsters and other flying beasts.
Other creatures were crawling over the buildings as well, and the giant crabs. It was chaotic, with flying monsters attacking each other.
The bike stopped, "Just what is going on?" Alex shouted, "Why are they doing that to each other?"
And then they all started to explode and bring the building down.
"No!" Alex screamed, "How dare they do this to the city?"
Zenon placed her hand on her shoulder, "It'll be ok. We'll fix everything."
The Rider nodded, "Yes…yes we will!" She shouted, turning the bike around. She started off the way they had come.
The bike came to a stop and Zenon got off, looking around.
"Stay here," Alex told her, "You'll be safer here."
"How do you know he's even still at the college?" she questioned.
"What do you think?" She asked.
"I…I assume so."
"Assume, or know?" She asked.
She looked aside, "I know."
"Then that's good enough for me. I trust your instincts," she said, starting the engine again and driving off.
"Be careful!" she screamed after her.
The bike came to a stop outside the school, where Zeus still stood with his two monsters. Alex got off the bike and walked forward. "Zeus…," she hissed. The man and the monsters turned.
Zeus shouted and thrust his blaster weapon forward.
The blast threw Alex back. She landed hard on the ground and groaned as she came up. Zeus walked towards her, the two monsters staying back.
"Don't get cocky," he hissed, lifting his shield. As Alex came up, Zeus slashed her with the shield twice in the chest before kicking her back.
Alex shouted as she landed on the ground, her belt glowing, and then his armor was gone.
"You're out of your league," Zeus said, "I give you points for effort. But for every one of my monsters you destroy, another will take its place. You couldn't beat them with your own power, could you? How do you think you could beat me with it?"
Alex came to her feet, her legs shaking. She reached for her belt, but Zeus shook his head and kicked her back into a tree. Alex shouted and pushed forward. She drew her fist back and punched, but Zeus blocked it with his shield, causing Alex to pull back.
"Fight me when you have more experience. More power," Zeus hissed, "Or…maybe you'll see just what my Dynasty can do, and will bow to me, and join me. In time it'll happen. You and everyone else who bears the title of Power Rider. Soon you will all know true despair as your homes are taken from you, as your lives are uprooted, destroyed."
"I won't let you have your way with this town or any other!" Alex shouted.
"It's too late for this town," Zeus told him, "You're powerless to stop me, after all." He looked at his monsters, who walked away. He looked at Alex, "Run. Tuck your tail between your legs, and run. Or join me. You have those two options. The third is that I destroy you on the spot, and I know you don't want that. Human nature dictates as such."
Will backed away from Zeus and looked at the motorcycle. When suddenly a guy appeared " Dont listen to him my lady. You are Zi-o now show him" The man said as Alex spun the belt transforming and spinning the belt again " Time Break " her belt said as Alex jumped into the air, the face of a clock appeared around Zeus and his two monsters as Zi-o landed the kick destroying all three in a blast . Alex hurried and got on her motorcycle and drove away, towards where she'd left Zenon.
"Wise Choice in the long run," Wolz said, turning and walking the other way.
When Alex found Zenon, she was half slumped over the handlebars, "Get on…," she said weakly.
"Alex!" she shouted, grabbing her .
"He beat me…," Alex hissed, "But...i...was...too strong…"
"Then you beat him, good lets get going!" she told her.
Alex nodded, "Y-yeah…Lets go." She looked behind, then looked forward, "We have to leave."
She got on behind her, "Where are we going to go?" she asked.
"We're…we're going to go and travel," she said. "There are other Power Riders out there. You said i take the Riders powerss from them, and drive them all to despair and destroy them. But that won't happen. I won't let it!" She shouted. "I'll find them, I'll get them to help me, and…and together, we will save the future!"
"Where do you even want to look?" she questioned.
"I don't know," she admitted, "But…but they're out there."
A red and silver Rider with large yellow eyes stood with a draped window to his back, rose petals falling around him as he raised his head up from a bowed position.
Dragon Knight stood in the world behind a window and turned.
Four Riders rose from crouched positions in a dark room and each one turned around and looked on.
A black hand caught gold glitter as it fell. Faiz stood and then turned his head and flicked his wrist as butterflies flew around him. He lowered himself into a crouch.
A gold and black Rider stood with his back turned. He turned his head back, the two crests on his head opening up to reveal more.
A train rode through the desert under a multi-colored sky.
A Rider in red and white threw his arms out, one back, one forward as he came into a sort of crouch.
Kabuto turned his head as he lifted his arm up to the sky.
Hibiki stood in a tree, twirling his sticks around in his hands.
Fourze walked towards Angel Grove high.
Wizard Justin Russo sat in his study reading a spell book.
